Soon to be proud dog owner

It's official. As of noon today I was officially approved to be Zeus' new mom.

Zeus (his name for now)

I know what you're thinking. I was looking for a small dog. Well, he's part small dog. He is half pit bull, half dachshund. He's expected to be around 40-50 lbs. He's 4 months old and just adorable. The humane society picture just doesn't do him justice. Don't worry though, as soon as I get him home in the morning the photo shoot will begin.

There's just one problem though. I would like to give Zeus a new name, but I can't think of anything original. I don't want him to have a normal people or dog name. I want him to have something that means something positive. He needs something unique and original. Does anyone have any dog name suggestions? Or do you think I should just stick with Zeus?

I'm so excited to go get him in the morning. I'm a little worried about introducing him to my cats though... although he's been checked with cats and doesn't have any interest in them. Wish me luck.

So he's half pit BULL and half weiner dog? Hilarious! I have never heard of that comination before. You must, must bring him by the office for a visit!
I found with Fang that sometimes it takes a while to pick just the right name to perfectly fit their personality. She had a "nickname" for two weeks before I came up with Fang, which perfectly fit her tiny, sharp teeth and rambunctious personality.

Don't name him anything you can't see yourself scream at the top of your lung in public like bull weiner. And don't name him an ex-boyfriend or anyone else you can't stand. this way you won't constantly reminded of that jerk. If he was a she, I'd suggest Daisy based on the photo above. I'm not good with naming dogs though.

They find us! Your life is about to take flight and you will have experiences which delight your soul. My dogs grow into their names,and my son always named the critters (sorry critters) with A names. Gabriel named himself in the dirt in Wyoming. St.Jude, well. He should not have lived, so I guess he named himself too.
Find some thing special about Zeus and grow that idea.

And my husband had a dog as a child that was named Notak, which means "the wind". Pronounced "No-Tack"; or as my hubby says, think of Tic-Tacs, but "No-Tac".:) I think that is Eskimo; so it may be more suitable for say a Malamute or Husky. But I like it. My bigger dog runs like the wind when he off a leash. :)

We should re-name bulldog Tansy "Notak"! She lies under the computer desk and every ten minutes you can set your watch by her, the wind is awesome!

LOL I'm glad to meet somebody else married to a native American. Yellow Jacket is a quarter Blackfoot. They were the terror of the plains. He tells me his gramma was a pistol, little tiny gal but nobody messed with her.

YJ named one of our dogs "Sachem" which means chieftan in some Northern tribe language, I think maybe it was Algonquin.
